Here’s a joke for you.So there
were two guys and one blonde woman on motorcycles on
their way to a TA rally...
Only
the people who came to the rally know the ending. Didn’t
need a truck though.

Hi Herm,
We’ve decided on Saturday Oct
14 (so far weather looks decent) with Oct 21 for rain date
if it looks like downpours on the 14th.
Meeting at Stafford House of
Pizza in Stafford Springs, CT. Sorry - I know you said you
couldn’t make it on the 14th.

Really need to get some fresh rubber on the bike. The tires
are getting mighty old but it's only been out once this
year so I didn't deal with it. My R75/5 is ready to
go.

I think I am fairly
centrally located. I could host. Maybe we could
just do a one day thing, or people could stay over my
house. We have three guest beds plus a couch..
It's not palatial but it would do. I could cobble
together some
roads.

So
guys… I think this year was supposed to be the 19th Annual
NETAR - next year would be 20. Can anyone confirm?
Is anyone able to do a
short-notice october mini-rally to keep this thing going so
we can make year 20? Maybe by then some of the DNR’s can
ride again.
p.s. Adam, there are two styles
of CDI holder for the TA. One squishes the box the long way,
possibly causing premature CDI failure (usually around the
20k mark). The second one lays them in sideways to reduce
the squish. I’ll post pics of both
so you can see what I’m talking about. But most of us had
CDI failure near 20k or so. We learned a lot of the quirks,
and all the good stuff together over these last 20 years.

How nice to see a new TA

Not even a coolant leak. The entire front cowl/headlight
assy. and every piece of plastic is trashed, but
no mechanical issues. Amazing bikes. Glad you got that
beauty, Adam. Need a white parts bike?

Good bike, good price. I have
Givi's side and top and good plastic and would market at
$3200.00 and expect it would sell quickly to those that know
theTA. I have Shinko 705 trail masters. 80/20. D606 for the
level 3+ (which I don't do any more).
Advice from me and many others. "Get a spare CDI
module" and the retro holder if possible.
You'll enjoy it.

I was pretty pleased as
it had the GIVI luggage stuff. I LOVE hard bags, and I
think that setup would have been pretty impossible to get in
any other way. I like being able to lock up my
Aerostich and helmet when I get someplace.
I may even take it camping. It had some other odds and
ends, like newer heated grips and a power charger
etc.
Bike looks good, well
maintained.
Cant wait to get it plated.

$3200 is about what I sold my '90
moonstone for in 2004. Except for vintage classics, I
don't think any bikes held their value as well.

Nah, tires aren’t that hard to
find… you can use bridgestone trail wings, dunlop
D606’s, Metzeler saharas, pirelli scorpion rallies, etc,
etc.

I am very excited to have it. I
don't have much in the way of pictures but here are some
snaps from the way home yesterday. I think it's
going to need tires. Any suggestions? I paid
$3200 for it with
17K and change on it for miles. It came with a full set if
Givi luggage side cases and rack are in the truck bed. I
just scored a new GIVI set of crash bars. Body looks
good aside from some scratches and a crack on one
place. It matches my truck!
The bike is on the truck which is on
the Hadleyme ferry in CT. I bought it, at least in
part, to poke around back roads with my wife on it.

Adam! That’s great!
The group has been getting smaller and
smaller due to aging riders, mechanical mishaps, etc. The
old TA’s are definitely moving slowly toward extinction -
which is too bad because, after all these years,
these bikes still ROCK!!! Just ask J. Braun and anyone who
has followed him with their own Transalp. They can go
anywhere and do anything.
